Calgary Dinos receiver Simonise bypassed in 2016 NFL supplemental draft
Rashaun Simonise is getting his NFL shot.
The Calgary Dinos receiver signed as a free agent with the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday shortly after being bypassed in the NFL supplemental draft. But he wasn’t alone as none of the five other eligible players were selected, meaning they were all available to sign with teams as rookie free agents.
“Thanks Coach Lewis and the staff at the Bengals for making Rashaun Simonise a part of the family! #letsroar #blessed,” Brian Bundage, Simonise’s U.S.-based agent, said on his Twitter account.
Simonise said he wasn’t surprised at being passed over in the supplemental draft.
